Manual Description
If different wheels are installed, wheel bolts with the right length and bolt head shape must be used. It may not be possible to use wheel bolts from different vehicles of the same model. After changing a wheel, have the wheel bolt tightening torque checked right away with an accurate torque wrench.
Before you check the tightening torque, replace corroded and difficult-to-turn wheel bolts and clean the threads in the wheel hub. The bolts can come loose while driving if greased or oiled, even if tightened to the required torque. The vehicle may only be lifted by a jack positioned at one of the 4 jack lift points.
Checklist For your own safety and that of your passengers, carry out the following steps in the order listed ⇒ : 1. Align the jack and wind up the jack claw at the same time, until the claw cradles the vertical rib underneath the vehicle ⇒ fig. Other jacks might slip, even those approved for other Volkswagen models, but not for your vehicle.
